Equipment Friends- Decided to start something new to try and give back to an industry that has done so much for me. I am going to call it Foundations of Equipment. I will post something every Sunday for the next year! Please feel free to join in. (1/3)
Well this is a little crazy for me. Never thought I’d be presenting on a topic but here we are! Excited for the opportunity. Highly suggest to all EQ out there, if you’re passionate about something, SPEAK UP!

Customized some Pitt AF1’s for the entire Pitt Volleyball team/staff
Couldn’t be more proud to do this for my alma mater. Every pair of shoes has the Panther, while the players have their jersey number & all staff has the Pitt script in place of a jersey numbers on theirs

A huge THANK YOU to all our student equipment managers but also our full timers, Chris Dountas and Danny Kozusko taking care of the needs of
@Pitt_FB
then Ed Whited, Mitchell Cyr, and Ramon “Kike” Negron who handle all of our other sports! Appreciate all you guys do!!
Can’t thank every single manager that has come through the doors of
@kennesawstfb
enough! Made my job a lot easier but managed to add a few gray hairs to my head.
#ThankYou
We decided that for all the student managers do for
@kennesawstfb

“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Lower the bar. Actually spending ten minutes clearing off one shelf is better than fantasizing about spending a weekend cleaning out the basement.” -Gretchen Rubin
Off season might be one of my favorite times as an equipment guy not just because it’s “video game” season but getting to do little things in the eq room to make it run better and look better. Always something to do just find it
You’re going to take a lot of “L’s” in life. The biggest thing to keep in mind, is the L stands for lesson. Live & learn from it. It’s not a bad thing unless you twist that way. There’s HUGE positives in those “L’s” are you willing to dig to find it?!

Can’t thank all of these kids enough for all they do. Managers truly are what makes the wheels go round. Thank you to those who helped build the tradition and those who will continue it.

Culture must run from the top to the bottom & the bottom to the top. If it’s not reinforced across the board it doesn’t mean anything & serves no purpose but something for people within to think is just a huge joke. Culture is a support beam for the destination
#ThoughtForTheDay
Another great one to remind myself to stop and look around every not and then. Words That Stuck Out to Me: “The race we run each day has no finish line. It’s a constant battle to prove our effectiveness and talent.”
We all would be wise at times to slow down a bit.
The race we run each day has no finish line. It’s a constant battle to prove our effectiveness and talent.
Let’s remind ourselves to slow down, to produce great — not expedient — work.
Negative thoughts=negative outcomes
Positive thoughts= positive outcomes. Change your focus and your viewing lens. It’s not easy and bumps happen but the picture you paint in your mind is how the picture appears in the real world for you. Don’t be dragged down!
Equipment is more than just laundry and ordering apparel. Expand your vision, be detailed in it to see how many different things you truly do. The more detail you can go into and provide for others gives them a chance to see how your vision comes to life.
The Four Agreements can empower us to live with greater clarity, purpose & passion while letting go of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of our joy:
Be Impeccable With Your Word
Don't Take Anything Personally
Don't Make Assumptions
Always Do Your Best

The Seeker is ready to go to work today; are you? Get more valuable reps than ever before and capitalize on your opportunity to reach your full potential.
Are you willing to push the boundaries not just for your own growth but for the growth of others and futures you’ll never know? Get comfy in the uncomfortable.

Started small with
@gvsufootball
in ‘07 after being hurt in HS. Never looked back. I got in for the behind the scenes work. Awesome feeling seeing your work come alive on a Saturday! Being able to help people grow, especially managers is what keeps me going!
If you see this, stop and read it. Read it as if it’s really written by you to you. Highly recommend you follow and subscribe to everything

Life doesn't always happen to us. Sometimes it happens for us.
2020 has shaken us to the depths of who we are. While we won't have all the "answers" tomorrow, the marathon continues to grow, to heal, to learn, to forgive, to lead, to live & to rise.
For whatever reason over the last few days this saying from an old t-shirt keeps popping in my head.
@Coach_Wyant
glad you guys did this years ago because it’s stuck!
Everyone has their definition of love, for me it’s the two people in the middle of the picture. My parents at one point made me gag with their love for each…

Happy Sunday Everyone! I will apologize now due to some luggage issues with traveling in the last 24 hours this week’s
#FoundationsofEquipment
is going to be delayed til tomorrow!
These will get a little shorter hopefully and I’ll aim to do it more as a thread for everyone. I hope this encourages all equipment managers to be more vocal. There is no right or wrong with our industry. Different things work for different people. (2/3)
